    It was, indeed, a great honor to attend the 7th edition of Anna Bhau Sathe Film Festival. Having won the best direction award makes it even more special, besides the fact that the film festival stands for independent art films. Thanks everyone for successfully organizing the festival.

    First upon thanks to all of you for organising film festival on the name of Annabhau Sathe.
    The attempt is good but here i should mention few things. There are so lackof communication from your festival committee.
    Random film screening during the festival once it started it goes till break noone knows whos film is screening. Because of this method there are no any gain to filmmaker. Festival purpose is to gain value to films and filmmakers.
    There are huge quatity selection half of the film on same subject so no variation in festival. Rather than showing 75 films in 3 days its better to make it 50 films in 2 days but show the qualitative films than quatitative. Again i know my statements dont values for huge festivals like you. But i had very bad experiences from last 2 to 3 years as a filmmaker it dont make sense to submit my film in your festival.
    Again QUALITY FILMS MATTERS THAN QUANTITY

    Hoping you will do better next time
    Wish you good luck all of you.

    From Jaiphal Nirmeet (Team Woman on Fire)
